Time - there is nothing we are so familiar with and yet it continues to elude us. The exhibition « Under Time's Spell »will show you objects that capture the imagination as well asworks written over the centuries in an attempt to solve the mystery that is time. In our audioguide you will also discover the - sometimes quite astonishing - little stories behind this mind-boggling topic.

The accompanying e-book (in Dutch, French and English) by Maarten Van Dyck can be found here
